A few days back, we were able to post the second part of The Making of Heavenly Sword. Also, there were the first two parts of The Legend of the Sword animated mini-series. Today, we get two videos, both of which are the Part Threes for each respective feature.

The first lined up is The Legend of the Sword: The Rise of Evil. In the short clip, we see how King Bohan came to be on the throne. It's a ruthless plot of how one king - the champion of peace in the land - was overthrown. Well, not so much as overthrown as over-intoxicated... Like, fatally. Now, to see King Bohan in Samurai Jack art style is weird. For some reason, my mind is still trying to fit Gollum Andy Serkis into the picture.



Now that's over and done with, get another serving of popcorn for the next video. It's The Making of Heavenly Sword Part 3; this time, it centers on motion capturing. Yes, Andy Serkis is there - he does a rather strange dance at the 2:20 mark (hilarious!) - looking all so Bohan. The actresses behind Nariko, Kai, and one Whiptail are interviewed as well. There's a cool character montage towards the end too, so you might want to look forward to that - it's more new game footage.

Howdy all... I love watching these on high def every Thursday when they do the PSN updates. Its not like regular film where you notice so much more, but its just fun keeping a little logbook of all the progress they have made in the game. Tata

They strive for perfection. I love that they have put so much attention to detail in this game and can't wait to get my hands on it. Shoot.....I'm still in aw of the amount of space that the sound alone is going to have in this game.It's not that hard to believe if you look at the demo. I mean it was incredibly short and yet it was still almost a 1GB in size. Ithink Sony has a winner with this one. They should have the a larger version of the demo running at Gamespot and Walmarts across the country to display the kind of games that are comming out for the PS3. I simply can't wait to play this game.
